Brewed for the Gravensteen castle in Ghent. Very likely an alias of Bornem Dubbel.

Notes from early 90s. Bottle. Dark color. Aroma’s: dark malts, sweet. Flavor: moderate sweet, caramel. Medium bodied. Finish is rather dry, lightly bitter. Nothing too exciting but decent enough.

Commissioned by De Hopduvel in Ghent and referring to the Count’s Castle. Not sure if this is still made. Off-white, irregular head, bronze colour with burgundy glow, misty. Aroma of port wine, chocolate, candied cherries, meat stock, tea leaves, gingerbread. Neutral onset with low carbonation, then more dried fruits and nutty and chocolatey malts with a certain depth, in the finish light port accent and soft roasted coffee-like bitterness, low hoppiness.

Bottle (exp. 1991). All carbonation was gone, beautiful brown chestnut colour. Very flat, sweet and bitter, some notes of port but also a bit oxidation. Nice to try.

Bottled. Dark amber colour with small beige head. Aroma is plum, dark fruits and slight alcohol. Raisins, plum, malts, caramel, candy sugar. Very full and more like a sweet wine or even liquor. Some slight spicyness in aftertaste. No alcohol whatsoever in the flavour.

Bottled vintage about 1993 @Akkurat. Dark ruby brown, very small white head. Nose has sugar, Madeira-wine and mould. Liquerish, creamy, portwine notes. Not alcoholic at all - even quite light beer.

(Bottle 25 cl) Amber with a reddish tint, fair head. Pronounced sweet’ n’ sour notes. Tart, wit some wooden notes and a taste of iron. Comes close to a Rodenbach but with a fuller body. Shouldn’t this rather be labelled as a "Flemish sour"? 200497

Cloudy amber ale. Sweet malt aroma. Dry, malt and hop flavour too light, but very smooth. The palate ain't really aromatic.Beers of Switzerland
